SUPPLEMENT TO PSYCHE.

with basal two-fifths light, hind tibiae with 

 basal half light. Tarsi with first joint light, 

 the others fuscous. Abdomen shining, quite 

 conspicuously punctured; the lateral hind 

 margin of the first segment, and tlie follow- 

 ing segments, with short pale pubescence. 

 The punctures on the first segment, though 

 rather sparse, are deep and conspicuous. 

 Tip of abdomen with rather long brownish 

 hairs. 



Hab. — Colorado; Four-mile Ilill.S miles 

 S. of Steamboat Springs, July 19,1894, 7000 

 feet (C. F. Baker). 



Differs from verticalis by the punctured 

 first abdominal segment and shorter anten- 

 nae. It is a larger species than mesillae. 



Prosapis divergens, n. sp. — $ hardly 5 

 mm. long, black with creamy-white face, 

 and lemon-yellow marks on body anil legs, 

 punctures of head and thorax moderately 

 fine, but strong and close, first segment of 

 abdomen rather sparsely but distinctly punc- 

 tured. Head of ordinary size, face mod- 

 erately narrowed below. Vertex and occiput 

 roughly punctured ; antennae all black, scape 

 moderately swollen. Face below antennae 

 creamy-white, the white color forming a 

 rounded projection in the median line, hardly 

 extending upwards, but at the sides extend- 

 ing along the orbital margin about two-thirds 

 the length of the scape. From the broadest 

 part at the base, this lateral white projec- 

 tion extends, nearly evenly narrowing, very 

 little notched by the antennal socket, to the 

 terminal very narrow truncation. 



Prothorax with the usual yellow patch on 

 tubercles, and t\\o shoit yellow stripes on 

 hind border. Yellow of tubercles without 

 a dark spot. Tegulae with a yellow spot. 

 Pleura with a moderate amount of white 

 pubescence. Pubescence of mesothorax very 

 short and sparse, dark in color. Base of 

 metathorax strongly rugose. 



Wings smoky hyaline, second submargi- 

 nal cell not narrowed one-half to marginal. 

 Femora black; tibiae black, anterior tibiae 

 yellow in front, middle tibiae yellow at ex- 



treme base, hind tibiae with the basal two- 

 fifths yellow. Tarsi with the basal joint 

 yellow, the others dark brown. First seg- 

 ment of abdomen rather sparsely but very 

 distinctly punctured, remaining segments 

 more finely punctured, inore or less pubes- 

 cent. 



Hub. — Colorado; Four-mile Hill, 8 miles 

 S. of Steamboat Springs, July 15, 1894, 7000 

 feet (C. F. Baker). 



Difters from -Moo/oiii by its smaller size, 

 white face, and spots of tegulae; from ruffo- 

 sula by the lateral face-marks very narrowly 

 truncate and hardly notched within, the 

 short median mark, etc. ; from citrinifroiis 

 by the white face, spots on tegulae, partly 

 yellow hind border of prothorax, etc. ; from 

 affinii by the smaller size, white face, spots 

 on tegulae, etc. 



Prosapis episcopalis, n. sp. — $ slightly 

 over 6 mm. long, black with creamy-white 

 markings, liead and thorax densely punc- 

 tured. Head rather large, not very broad, 

 face little narrowed below, the extreme base 

 slightly widening. Vertex confluently punc- 

 tured. Antennae entirely dark, scape stout 

 but not dilated. Face below antennae yel- 

 lowish-white, the upward extension in the 

 median line rather short and pointed, the 

 supraclypeal yellow piece as a whole resem- 

 bling in shape a bishop's mitre; laterally 

 the white extends along the orbital margins, 

 not half the length of the scape, somewhat 

 broadly, shallowly excavated inwardly by the 

 antennal socket, ending obtusely. 



Prothorax with a pair of short yellowish- 

 white stripes on hind border; the tubercles 

 also with the usual pale patch, lacking a dark 

 spot, and extending inwards [upon the 

 tubercles] further than usual. Tegulae with 

 a large spot. Pleura stropgly punctured. 

 Scutellum less closely punctured than meso- 

 thorax. Base of metathorax rugose, with 

 large, shining pits. Wings strongly tinged 

 with fuliginous. Femora black; anterior 

 tibiae yellowish-white in front, black behind; 

 middle tibiae white at each end. black in
